Post-concert, it has
received many different remarks based on different perspective of views.

After the event, an Instagram
account of Shila Amzah’s fans has come out with a questions that has ignited
the heat amongst certain media members. Since then, certain media members have
put the focus onto that issue and started flaming Shila Amzah in many ways,
many aspects and many articles.

After 9 days of waiting
for Shila’s response, Shila and her
father N.D. Lala has finally
organized a press conference to clarify about the chronology of events that
have sparked up the controversial issue on her.

Shila’s father N.D.Lala listed out the chronology of events!

The press conference
began with N.D. Lala giving a
powerpoint presentation of how everything started. The issue originated from a
fans’ questions in regards on why only certain media members that did coverage
on Shila Amzah’s concert while there is no news at all in certain media
platforms. Shila has reposted the fan’s status and many things followed after
that.

In overall, he has
explained why all of these “Fakta” (Facts) reported by certain media agencies were
actually “Fitnah”. (Accusation)

The chronology shown was
something like this:

Fans account posted
regarding about media coverage

Shila reposted it

Sparked up the anger
amongst certain media members

Some media reported the
status as being posted by Shila herself instead of her fans

Then, even more topics
were brought up.

Many other parties such
as artistes and prominent figures were asked regarding Shila’s issues

Certain media members
even contacted Shila’s mother personally in a not-so-friendly way

Certain media members
claimed her concert to be sponsored by country’s largest gambling corporation

Shila Amzah Appeared For the Q&A Session After Her Father’s
Explaination!

Shila Amzah has also appeared
during the press conference in Mega Music
World to respond to the media members personally. She was obviously upset by
the issues that have started over the course of 9 days.

In regards with the
status posted by the fans account, she said that when she read the post, she
felt that it was just a question asked by a concerned fan. It was just a
question of which she too have wondered about.

“I felt that it makes
sense, so I reposted it.” Said Shila Amzah. She said that she never expected it
to be such a big deal as many artistes have reposted their fans’ statuses
before too.

Shila has always been labelled
as being “mentah” (immature) in entertainment industry due to her age. However,
she has explained while her age might be “mentah” but her involvement in
entertainment industry is nearly 14 years now. As someone young, she admitted
that she should apologize if her action has upset some reporters. But she said
that some reporters’ claims and statements were unacceptable and she felt that
the writers were immature to write about her without knowing her better in
person.

In response to certain
media member’s claim on her concert being sponsored by country’s gambling
corporation, “The statement has hurt my reputation as a Muslim.”

“I am carrying
Malaysia’s name everywhere I go and I did this sincerely.”

“I felt very sad to see
my mother crying.” She
felt that those with a family would understand her feelings on how the issues
have affected her family members. In response to those writer, Shila mentioned,
“If you can’t write something nice, you better not write anything about me at
all.”

Besides Shila and her
father, a representative from Mega
Ultimate, Eric has also been
invited to speak during the press conference in regards to certain media
members’ claims that they were not invited to cover the event.

The representative has
explained that he has e-mailed and called each media platforms prior to the concert
to confirm the attendance to cover the event. He has even showed the media members
on the emails which he have sent invitation to. Within the list, it has
included emails of certain media platforms which claimed to be “begging for
invitation” and “not invited to cover the events” in their articles. The email
was sent out a few days before the concert.

Everything written above
were based on what happened during the press conference and none of them were
from my own judgement.

Now, it’s a personal
notes. In my opinion, Shila Amzah is
a very talented singer who has without any doubts brought our countries reputation
up in international level especially in China. I hope the tension between her
and local media members could be cleared off soon. Peace.
